The study provides a detailed overview of the traditions and chronographical material about these poets and seeks to clarify who were the creators of the particular traditions; what were the sources; when the traditions were formed; and to what extent they are shaped by formulaic themes and story-patterns.\u003cbr\u003eIt challenges several mainstream assumptions on the subject, for example, that the traditions were formed mainly in the Post-Classical period; that the only significant source for the legends is the works of the particular poet; and that the poets were perceived as \"new heroes.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maarit Kivilo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004186158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004186156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.45h x 6.30w x 0.69d","brand":"Maarit Kivilo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520656031999,"sku":"9789004186156","price":174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b34fb815-1a51-40c4-a0f5-9b6fde87a729.jpg?v=1762886375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-greek-poets-lives-maarit-kivilo-9789004186156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
